Default RE: Shock flyer brushless mount

I’m not sure if I understand your question. The motor mount in the picture looks like the mount from the Ikarus Brushless Power Set (which does not use an AXI motor). I’m guessing that this will not work with the AXI … can’t say for sure.

I can tell you what I use; it seems to work well. I ordered a carbon fiber mount from www.mjpcarbon.com (click the buttons for Products … then R/C Planes).

I used the AXIRRM-0 style mount. This mount allows you to radial mount the AXI 2208 directly (i.e., without using the X shaped back plate). The only down side is that I had to attached the motor to the mount and then glue the mount to the plane (the motor mounting screws are blocked once the mount is installed).

I also order the AXI radial mount kit – but I only use the prop adapter (kind of expensive just for a prop adapter). This set up has been holding up really well.

Check out this thread entitled “Shock Flyer Carbon Fiber Mounts” http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_21...tm.htm#2192609

Look at post #12 – I followed imsofaman’s example and mounted my AXI exactly like this (including the carbon fiber tape strips to strengthen the edges as shown) – like I said, works just fine.

I see you are in Israel. Ordering from multiple places probably drives your total cost way up – sorry.

Good luck,
Moses
